I just installed raid monitor since I suspected a raid failure, and I'm concerned the system may fail too

Raidmonitor output:

Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors

md2 : active raid1 sdb1[1] 264960 blocks [2/1] [_U]

md0 : active raid1 sda5[0] 15936 blocks [2/1] [U_]

md1 : active raid1 sda6[0] 8602688 blocks [2/1] [U_]

unused devices:


Note BOTH sda and sdb !  also _U and U_

I've dumped data to my desktop, and ghosted sda but the ghost image didn't boot on a new drive, so I'm building a backup with new drives, but not sure how to get the configuration to load!

All suggestions welcome

Ideally, I'd like to add a third drive to the existing system, is that feasible?  ( Adaptec 2940 scsi system )

thx
